Hello-
As I am sure most are aware, Ubuntu is currently considering adding a opt-out check box for HW specific data collection to be included in the Ubiquity installer in the upcoming Ubuntu release. Now as someone who would consider himself relatively concerned with matters of privacy (not like on the level of Richard Stallman, or anything, but still..), this got me curious into potentially looking for a replacement to the *Ubuntu Mini* build I am currently running on my main box. ArchmergeD is currently my goto on my secondary machine, and I would gladly use it on my main box. Reason I haven't yet, really is just due to rolling nature of Arch and the finnicky nature of my main machine's HW.

Anyways, I was reading up on the latest release of the Calamares installer (V.3.2.0-rc3) and there is a paragraph that I was curious about:

It is now possible to configure Calamares to “phone home” at the end of an installation and to configure update-manager with a machine-specific URL. Use the tracking module for this.

Will do. Glad to see that you caught this as well. Look forward to getting some clarification on this soon.
Thanks for your reply, Erik.
A lot of people are talking about what you are doing. Fantastic work
